Inter Miami’s 2026 MLS Regular Season Schedule
The 2026 MLS regular season schedule was unveiled with Inter Miami set for an intense, action-packed year they’ll hope is full of silverware.
Inter Miami are currently preparing for their bout against FC Cincinnati in the 2025 MLS Cup conference semifinals. Still, within the intimacy of the team, planning has already started for what the 2026 season might bring.
It can’t be overstated how monumental 2026 will be for the Herons. With Lionel Messi signing a new contract extension, the Herons look to be the premier force in MLS during a year where they’ll move into their new home at Miami Freedom Park.
In the second-to-last season before the league’s calendar change comes into play, here’s Inter Miami’s 34-game schedule.

The Herons will move to their new state-of-the-art home stadium, Miami Freedom Park, for the 2026 MLS season.
April 4, 2026 serves as the landmark date when Miami will play their first match at their new ground.
After starting the season with five straight away games, Miami Freedom Park will open its doors for the first time when the Herons host Austin FC.
The upcoming MLS season will feature a near two-month break during the summer making way for the 2026 World Cup.
Starting on May 25, MLS games won’t be played until July 16.

Although the World Cup final will be played on July 19—three days after MLS action resumes—Miami aren’t scheduled to play until the World Cup is over.
The Herons’ last match before the 2026 World Cup is a home bout against Philadelphia Union on May 24. Then, Miami will return to action when they host Chicago Fire on July 22—three days after the World Cup final.
If Messi and Argentina live up to their status as World Cup favorites and make a deep run to the final, then he and Rodrigo De Paul could potentially miss the Chicago game.
